Hi Srikanth, It will be really nice to organise a function for 10Wiki on Tamil new year's day. But I have recently moved to Chennai and I lack local contacts for organising the event. If a local volunteer comes forward I can coordinate with him.
Brief plan should be:
Introduction to Wikipedia Ten years experience and growth of Indic wikipedias Authors speech about Tamil Wikipedia book by Theni Subramani Experience of a rural school with Tamil wikipedia (Pudukkottai school rep could come, it would be great) Workshop for contributing to Wiki in general and particular to Tamil wikipedia
Regards, Manian

Hi Manian,
Would be awesome. I would request you to go ahead and create a page in tenwiki. I could arrange the Thoughtworks same meetup venue / help with finding some other place in case we dont get that. However i may not be able to attend since I would in Bangalore. Some media buzz can be created or it can be a simple tamil wikipedia celebration. Once you have a plan, send out a mail to Steven to get free merchendise.

Hello India Wikimedians!
Time is getting short for organizing Wikipedia 10th anniversary events. January 15, 2011 will not come again - it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be there as Wikipedia marks this big milestone. :-). If you manage to put together an event, you may still be able to get one of the 10th anniversary kits that Steven is talking about below. They include t-shirts and other goodies.

So far, there are pages up for Bangalore, Mumbai and Hyderabad. Would be awesome to see even more India events :-)

Hi everyone,
So with little more than a month to go before Wikipedia's anniversary, I'm pleased to say that the kits of special Wikipedia 10 merchandise we've talked about previously (on this list and at ten.wikipedia.org) are ready to be shipped. To reiterate:
- This merchandise is free. The WMF is paying all shipping and production
costs.
- It's available to anyone that has confirmed publicly that they're
holding an event that will celebrate Wikipedia's 10th anniversary. You don't have to be holding a particular size or type of event (we have conferences, film screenings, parties, plain old meet-ups etc.).
- Everyone is getting the same kit.
- Each box includes 50 t-shirts with a balance of sizes for men and
women, as well as a mixed assortment of stickers and buttons. You can see mockups of the designs at Design/Merchandise on tenwiki. I'm going to get pictures of it all on Commons soon, under Category:Wikipedia 10.
This means that if you're organizing one of the more than 60 events currently in the works, I need two things to be able to ship to you:
- A public listing for your event on tenwiki. Just to be clear, this
is merely a description and links to wherever you're organizing. If your wiki page exists but doesn't tell people the basics of who/what/when then please enrich it a little, so that logistically we can feel comfortable shipping a couple hundred dollars worth of merchandise to you. The New York City and Brasília events are good examples of the level of detail I'm talking about.
- Contact information and your shipping address, plus an estimate of
the size of your event so that we know how many boxes to send you. You can email this to me privately.
The shipping takes roughly a week depending on location (of course), so the sooner you can send me your event information the better. We're hoping to get as many kits as possible sent before January 1.
For those of you who've already done all of the above, thank you. I will contact you this week before we ship anything to you.

Hi Manian,
Sounds great plan.Please update the page in ten wiki. On a lighter note I would also request some space / talk for minorities(en wiki folks,after all its en wiki's birthday :P). You could also celebrate the achievements being collected on the Bangalore page to showcase best efforts.
I will try and get some local contacts soon. Amog / Prateek, are you listening? Can you get in touch with Manian and help him? I am bit busy this week, i will try to get few people over the weekend. As i said getting venue should not be a problem if we have a firm plan.I will try checking availability of Thoughtworks to start with.
